Last Knights is Kaz I Kiriya’s third film – his first in English – following the cult classic/live-action version of manga/anime series Casshern, and martial arts oddity Goemon. It is a tale of honor, love and loyalty set in a medieval culture reminiscent of Kiriya’s native Japan, but truly diverse – citizens of all races […]

Lucy Is a Magnificent Mess!
No one has ever accused Luc Besson of being a master filmmaker – despite gems like Léon: the Professional, La Femme Nikita and The Fifth Element.

That is, roughly speaking, the effect that Timur Bekmambetov’s Wanted has on an audience. Wesley Gibson [James McAvoy] is a cubicle slave with an impressive, but meaningless title, and […]
